Overview

No Tanzmariechen could get past her. And Elke Schetter has also clashed with club president Günter Kowatsch: now the strict dance trainer of the carnival club "De Jecke Aape" has been murdered. And that just a few days before the start of the new carnival session. A disaster! During their investigations, inspectors Freddy Schenk and Max Ballauf quickly find out that things have been anything but cheerful at "De Jecke Aape" recently. There is fierce competition between the two dancers Saskia Unger and Annika Lobinger for the position of first dance mariechen. And just two months ago, young Evelyn, a very talented member of the dance group, took her own life. She had been bullied by the other girls. Nevertheless, the carnival club still plays a very important role in the life of Evelyn's family, especially for her father Rainer Pösel. Against the will of his wife Martina, he seeks a confrontation with club president Günter Kowatsch. The eleventh eleventh is just around the corner – Evelyn would have turned 17 that day.

About the show

Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
